[thebazzoid]

Beautifull tremelo J.H. Loved it!

[daktucs]

Nice Job

[Thirty2FU]

This ain't the 60's man, we don't get ladies by playing guitar... In fucking 2011 we get chicks according to the size of our dick. I'm just saying.

[CoffeeJunkDeLuxe]

I love the tremolo part of this track... I am completely lost when I listen to it. No regrets with buying any of your tabs!!!

[Vozmezdie777]

Amazing)))

[veronsky7]

That was lovely John. Wondering where you get your inspiration from to create such hauntingly beautiful music. Will be visiting San Fran in 4 weeks please keep posting your gigs. I cannot leave Frisco without seeing you play live!

[heartofawildman]

Very interesting presentation. Thanks for sharing it. Will subscribe.

[theshapex]

the original video was better, he played the entire song without even looking at the fretboard, he just stared at the camera the whole time. That was truly skillful.

[emremartgen]

Musik is Food for me!!! =)

[hanumantish]

to 5 people.... he gives a middle finger salute from 0:10 to 0:15 then it gets back to business :P

[MrBadboy0083]

@hanumantish HAHAHAHAHA LOL

[valeri4538]

[TMSVioloncellist]

D: If you don't mind my asking, Mr. Clarke, why did you remove the first video of To Live?

[TheRASCAL1970]

That was amazing



[OdetteHorn]

[group15f]

[XxgioxXh]

That was awesome

[rickytimes]

At 1:52 , I can see that you're plucking the melody with your thumb but are you plucking the e string with I, M and A or just I and M?

[AmitZuker]

@rickytimes

[ImAwesome000]

I love this song :')

[r2cristi]

Can you explain a bit about how you do the strumming part ? 0:43

[cepulga1]

Beautiful song

[SelectionSeven]

[r2cristi]

[SavageMan717]

[SavageMan717]

[MzRaj]

Oh...wow...this is completely sweeping me away--I could listen to it forever! Has a whimsical sound, or full of wonder.

I Love It! I'm buying a CD as soon as I can. :)

[Crusade781]

nice lightning

[7hrjpidocil]

Very very moving piece. Inspires great feelings of joy, curiosity, and fascination. Extremely well written and performed!

[PhilippeBertaud]

[michael108ful]

[sp3rmih]

are there any tabs available for this song ?

[megz33la]

You are....THE shit.

[erbrown75]

Wow I just love this!

[divinegod102]

To live, with love.

[CheyennedeLuna77]

ummmmmmmmmmmm im new to guitar... are those strings nylon?

[BlackStormBu2]

@CheyennedeLuna77

yes,i think that nylon strings are better than metal ones

(cool guitar by the way) :)

[AarezZ]

@CheyennedeLuna77 Yes these are nylon strings, ylon sounds best if u want to play spanish songs, metal strings are better for country music.

Thats why most people call guitars with nylon strings "spanish guitars" and guitars with metal strings" western guitars". so its up to you waht kind of music u like more.

Have fun

[TMSVioloncellist]

I love this song, and your new guitar, but there was nothing wrong with the other video in my opinion. Why'd you take it down? You messed up in this one:(.

Still, beautiful. This piece, even more so than the others you play, sends me to a place.... Its special to me... Thank you for this beauty. ;D

[FrancescaVR]

Hipnotising. I love your music. I can watch all your videos and will never get bored and will never feel that I'll ever have enough of them. Saludos..FVR

[mianena12]

I LOVE this thanx for sharing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for showing work in progress i am buying music from you and will try to learn some of your songs.

[fartsam08]

0:12 John is telling justin bieber fans what he thinks of them

[jgoforth86]

Is this track on your cd???

[Sarahi79]

What happened to the original video of this song? The one where you just stare at the camera and smile at the end. I prefer that one. Please put it back. plus the other video didn't have mistakes........

[greeneyedboriqua]

The more I listen to it, the more I like it.

[ghostleader2013]

Which type of strings are you using, John? Nylon or metal? And which one do you recommend for Flamenco guitar? I realy want to know

[JordiDiabler]

Fiquei realmente impressionado, belíssimo seu arranjo parabéns!!!!!

[princdark66]

aweesome

[101Zeus]

I subscribed to your channel today but I've been listening to your stuff for months now. You're music is GREAT. Sometimes I can only listen to your music with my eyes closed so that my ears can capture it all. I don't know why this makes sense to me but anyway, your music is mesmerizing!

[Threegeezz]

man great song is this coming out on a cd or sumthing? i rly like your new work its great! wish i could play like you one day

[sergejzr]

Thank you very much John! Listening to you was a very nice experience!

[yeaitskate334]

I have listened to this song about 4 times now and it keeps getting better. Listening to this makes my heart dance. Thank you for posting this.

[samaryousrie]

excuse me , can u put the tab of this song plz ?

[bnlwtn]

What is the full chord you are playing at 0:40? I couldn't tell if it was just a basic chord and I heard the ring of the last chord or something, but it sounded really cool.

[NiNa589304]

I love all of your music. You so talented! I've been playing guitar for about 6 months and whenever I get discouraged, I listen to your music and I feel inspired. You are amazing :)

[CRGOfficial]

wow! my friend is learning that i be he will be as good as you! but u r also amazingggg!!!!!

[yankeesuperstar]

I see this as a blend of spanish and american classical( in my novice view). I love it.

[okkkgsup]

[myslyknock]

very melodious and heart touch composition and especially the tremelo section love your compositions , your guitar and your creativity of attaching camera on headstock for a superb and the most desirable view a guitarist wants...God bless you

[mrk018]

[HBKphiyen]

[johnclarkemusic]

@HBKphiyen

Yes it is a new guitar. Its a Kenny Hill Signature Series. I bought it directly from the maker himself in his shop in the Santa Cruz mountains. His guitars are super nice. I have two of them and they are my favorites.

[AarezZ]

@johnclarkemusic Wow i just looked the guitar up in the internet and it sayed they cost about 5500 dollars. hell this is expensive. maybe i will buy one in about lets say 10 years when i am nearly as good as you...at least i hope i will be some day. I love the sound of your Guitar its intonation is so perfect and clear.

[CAZPERsayz]

cool man

[freakandcrew]

that guy who disliked this is lonely

[lomina809]

do the long fingernails serve as pricks lol

[MrFantasioSpirou]

Mr. Clarke. I like the first version. Where is it?

[happyhappyfish1]

Speechlesssss, adore and admire for your guitar music playing talent ......Deeply Love your amazing performance ! Best Regards, Camilla

[pkerlex]

you have robot hands :O

that was awesome!

[sikkmage81]

I dream on to the day I may be fortunate enough to shake your hand... Keeping up with your videos and CDs till the day I die. :)

[marceloh020287]

Great Job!!

[jenaurlacher]

So melodic and soothing. If wind made music as it blew a pile of leaves or through a tree I imagine it sounding like this.

[Alex2k2ba]

Could you show us the strumming pattern in this song

like a demo

[UKFreelancer]

@Alex2k2ba see his video /watch?v=RXTdQ4CkYTk

[layalwhale]

yet again, i love it!

[Bandido9911]

what happened here man? many mistakes compared to the other "To Live" vid still amazing though :)

[Highduken]

always loved this song

glad to hear a new version.

by the way: do you have a new guitar?

[ssherman999]

I just Love this . Thank You ! the simplicity of the video, the perfection of your playing...... It's Just Beautiful ..... Beautiful.

Thank you so much for giving so much.

[daniccytt]

You are the best!!!! o.O

Could you give me the tab? please!!!!!! :(

[bobsters34]

how the hell do you tremolo so fast?

[pusjel]

aw gods... the tremolo have just made me poo my pants

[RenegadeScion]

Another phenomenal tune, John.

[UKFreelancer]

Just brilliant John! One of my favorites

[morenoisaac18]

Add some lyrics to it it'll sound really really awesome

[divinegod102]

@morenoisaac18 This is classical guitar, I think it'd be better off lyricless haha.

[happlin2314]

I play guitar aswell.

And my goal is to become as good as you!

LOVE YOUR MUSIC! <3

[MrKevinguzman]

sell your music in iTunes

[al35077]

This is one of my favorites so far. keep up the good work.

[RaisedMindfreezer]

Shouldn't the title be "To Life", not live? oO

Well done anyway. I like this one very much since you finally use some other patterns than in songs before.

[MauroPavanelli]

very beautiful video and great playing!

[guess777]

wonderful!

[AahhCheezIt]

Love the music and the videos you make

[Bean6Kid]

I like how the titles fit your music. :)

[sheppo162]

everyone can sing (well atleast try), but not everyone can play gutar like him.

[Muzzrack]

definately my favorite from John!

[nitin007kuru]

DAMNTASTIC music...

[RougePakMing]

May I ask how do you keep your nails for the spanish style picking starting at around 1:50 something?

[ooPHOIBEoo]

damn good. respect.!!

[Jasonvc95]

you need a shave... second thought you look better if you didin't! Great song!

[sobitch21]

WoW! so beautiful

[geragna]

Brillant

[oscardequiros]

AWESOME

[lilsilverback1]

i miss the old school vids u did. with the camra effects. not saying these are bad i love the songs and its awsome to see ur finger picking, but i wanted to know will u ever do a throwback for us?

[jepa12]

1:58 O_O I saw Paco De Lucia doing that, BUT his thumb was only on 1 string.

Are you better than Paco?!?

[yupyup78387]

Exquisite playing, or should I say re-playing. I loved this song the first time I heard it when you did it three (3) years ago. Its a shame you took it off, but I understand why you had to.

[atgblue1]

@yupyup78387 I know! But I got it downloaded to my computer in time! lol. But the converter doesn't work anymore, anyway. Always nice vids John !

[MontegoFilms]

Will this be available for purchase as well? (music sheets)

[eccho13]

Simplicity, intricacy, and beauty all at the same time. This is incredible!

[216yan216]

all i want to say is u deserve more than 100,000 views

[ElPolloLoco4330]

wow. this is incredibly stupid. why would youtube disgrace such harmony by linking justin bieber to this video? To suggest that kid has a fraction of the talent of John Clarke makes me question humanity.

[Crazybone0210]

@ElPolloLoco4330 Haha, props sir.

[Luduin]

@ElPolloLoco4330 dude... you got me sad now :3

[wewhitt]

@ElPolloLoco4330 I too found this incredibly discraceful ... to think I would actually go to a Justin Bieber link when I came to watch real talent .......... and not marketing too the mindless. Sorry John that they did this to you!!!

[livingoutloud40]

@ElPolloLoco4330

there has to be come kind of balance in the world. if everything was john clarke we'd all just fall into a giant pool of our own orgasmic fluids

[maximus83iq]

Outstanding!!!!

0:12 to the haters LOL
